🧂 Ingredients

6 to 8 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ teaspoon blackened seasoning blend
2 to 3 cups of lettuce or other leafy greens
½ small avocado (or ¼ large avocado), peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons red onion, chopped or thinly sliced
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup frozen sweet corn
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided into 1 tablespoon and two ½ tablespoons)
2 lime wedges (or lemon wedge)

Instructions

1 In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, blackened seasoning, and lime juice; set
aside to marinate while preparing the salad ingredients.
2 Chop the lettuce, red onion, and avocado, then add them to a large bowl along
with the crumbled feta cheese.
3 If raw onion's flavor is too strong, soak the chopped onion in water for a few
minutes before adding it to the salad.
4 Heat ½ tablespoon of olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add
the frozen corn and season with salt or blackened seasoning.
5 Stir frequently and cook for about 5 minutes until the corn is slightly charred.
Then, transfer the cooked corn to the bowl with the other salad ingredients.
6 In the same frying pan, heat ½ tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 1½ to 2 minutes per side.
7 Transfer the cooked shrimp to the bowl with the salad ingredients.
8 Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and a squeeze of lime or lemon. Toss to
combine and enjoy!
